Brazilian Chamber approves bills on loyalty miles, rent, and women's football

The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies has approved several legislative measures that will impact consumer rights and social policies.

One significant bill (PL 3083/2026) regulates loyalty programs, establishing rules for the sale and transfer of miles and points. The law distinguishes between programs that offer official cash conversion and those that do not. For programs without official conversion, companies are prohibited from restricting the sale of miles or penalizing users through account blocks or ticket cancellations. The bill aims to provide legal certainty to a sector that currently lacks specific regulation.

Additionally, the Chamber approved PL 462/2011, which allows for residential rent to be paid via direct payroll deduction. This new guarantee modality is available to private employees, public servants, retirees, and pensioners, with deductions capped at 30% of available remuneration. Notably, the use of FGTS funds as a guarantee was removed from the final text to preserve workers' financial reserves.

Finally, the Chamber passed PL 4578/2025 to promote women's football in Brazil. The legislation sets guidelines for professionalization, including limits on the number of non-professional players allowed in national competitions and incentives for wage equality between men and women.
